Jim Barrett, 93, is a prolific author writing about the history of the Blue Mountains, the indigenous peoples of the Mountains, and the Catholic Bushwalking Club. He has recently published his 15th book, and this one is on the Indigenous people of the region, titled Gandanguurra; The Language of the Mountain People and Beyond. Mr Barrett started bushwalking in that country almost 70 years ago. Warragamba Dam which caused the tragic flooding of the amazing Burragorang Valley, wasn't even on the drawing boards then.

All his books have a connection to bushwalking, or the local area, and he calls his recent effort a "wonderful interest" that he hopes will "honour the traditional owners". We trust you will enjoy these books.
